About the Artist
Zak Smith’s songwriting and lyrical talent is something beyond a pencil & a piece of paper. This “something” is what you feel when you get wrapped up in his words and emotions while fighting the urge to drop to your knees in surrender or jump out of your seat in celebration. Influenced by his roots of Leonard Cohen & Elvis Costello, Zak reveals prevailing choruses and melodic hooks in an alternative rock genre leaning towards new favorites, Kings of Leon & The Killers.
Playing mostly in the New York City area the last couple years, 2011 looks to be the year that Zak has been waiting for his entire life by touring the country, breaking boundaries, and taking his career to another level. Off to a great start, Zak successfully released Haunted Feet on January 26, 2011 and plans to play SXSW.
